They raise rates quickly and once you’ve figured out the rates are no longer competitive, you’ll attempt to cancel the agreement when it expires but then you’ll get a new offer. It will be a little lower but they know in 2 or 3 years your price will be right back to where it is now…or greater!

Plus you’re still left with all the administrative headaches, and the lower productivity that goes with it.

A waste broker is an independent third party that specializes in finding the best price for trash and recycling service. Waste brokers normally subcontract the actual pickup work to well-established hauling companies. A waste broker is also an independent contractor working with as many as 10 haulers at any one time.

A professional waste broker can wade through the mountains of rate data and pickup options, researching current market conditions to find the most accurate and up-to-date information about cost-effective trash service options.

Brokers Handle the Details!

There are many variables that can affect the outcome of your next waste and recycling service contract. That’s why you need a waste broker to act as a liaison between you and the hauling company.

A Waste broker also:

Discusses and explains contracting options
Explains all associated costs of the service agreement
